Personalities and patch	Rebuild fixtures in Patch & Fixture Setup with OFL definitions or custom fixtures.

What carries over

Use your fixture addresses, channel modes, cue order and design notes as references for manual setup.

What to rebuild

Relackout does not import Avolites Titan PC / Titan One show files. Rebuild looks, timing and controls; only fixture definitions in Open Fixture Library format can be imported.

Frequently asked questions

Is Titan One the same as today's T1?

They are different hardware generations. The Titan manual says older Titan One dongles need a separate AvoKey; T1 includes one.

Can Relackout load Titan show files?

No. Rebuild the patch, looks, effects and cue timing. An OFL fixture definition is not a Titan show conversion.

Should a touring Titan user switch?

For large console-driven productions, Titan may remain the better fit. Relackout targets smaller venues that benefit from integrated audio and a desktop workflow.
